Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge

We are happy to announce that we are finally releasing

the Pin Ups as Digital Stamps today!

WOW has two weeks passed already!  

That means it's time once again for a Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge and today it's all about 

MAKING SOMETHING HOMEMADE

(i.e. paper, embellishments, sentiment)

I chose to make my own background paper and flower.

(click image to enlarge)

For the green background paper, I simply used a sponge applicator, Momento 'Bamboo Leaves' Ink and white glossy paper.  For the red/green panel, I've used the 'stipple brush' technique onto another white glossy paper panel using the same 'Bamboo Leaves' ink and SU Ruby Red.

The red flower was first embossed using the 'Swirl' Cuttlebug EF, Gold Brillance ink was swiped over the raised portion then the flower was cut using the Tim Holtz floral die.  The smaller flower was punched from the same red/green  background paper using a PunchBunch punch then a Prima 'Say It In Studs' was placed in the center.  The leaves were punch using the MS frond punch and gold Stickles added the sparkle.  The vine swirl is a die from Cheery Lynn Designs.

How about this 'darling' PIN UP GAL!  Her name is MARILYN and we have a NEW RELEASE for you beginning today!  You'll want to be sure to check out this new line of PIN UP GIRLS ... they are fabulous and the guys are going to LOVE THEM!!!

After coloring my image using Prismacolor Markers, I added red Stickles to her top, waistband & shoes for that added sparkle that every holiday outfit needs!!  LOL!!
